Participants will develop a deep understanding of how five research-based strategies (ask yourself questions, sentence frames and starters, annotation, the Four R’s, and turn-and-talks) can be used to help students with learning disabilities develop mathematical thinking. They will learn about six accessibility areas (conceptual processing, visual-spatial processing, language, attention, organization, and memory) math learners must use when doing mathematics. They will see how the essential strategies support students as they work in each of the accessibility areas by engaging in an instructional routine designed to develop mathematical thinking. Participants coalesce their learnings as they apply the course ideas to draft IEP goals that focus on students’ mathematical thinking.

Today I taught the 3 Reads Routine for the first time, using this task. I taught this to a small group of ELL students whose language proficiencies are between levels 1 and 4. What I noticed is that the format of 3 Reads somehow allows students to be more relaxed about the reading and thinking process. I think the freedom comes partly from being given the time to read the problem 3 times and partly from being asked not to blurt out the answer. The explicit instructions that go with each of the 3 reads is very helpful to students.
